According to the Office for National Statistics, 30% of burglaries occur when intruders gain entry through a window.
Book a call-outWe provide uPVC window repairs in Barnsley, including the replacement of faulty window mechanisms, hinges, and handles, regardless of age or installer.
Over time, the parts that keep your windows secure and draught-free can wear out and fail, especially if the windows remain closed for extended periods. While these issues may not seem urgent, they can be inconvenient, as you may need to ventilate rooms or ensure the windows are safe and can be locked.
If you are unable to open a window, please refrain from attempting to force it open yourself, as this can cause further damage. As professional locksmiths in Barnsley, we have the specialised tools and expertise to safely open windows without damaging the frames. We also carry a wide range of spare parts, enabling us to replace faulty mechanisms, hinges, and handles on-site in most cases.
Windows rely on friction hinges (also known as stays) to maintain their alignment. Over time, these hinges can wear out, creating gaps that let cold air in and, more importantly, allow warm air to escape. Our hinge replacement service restores a tight, draught-free seal, ensuring your windows are secure and energy efficient again.
We supply and fit a complete range of replacement handles for both standard uPVC and tilt-and-turn windows. We commonly resolve the following issues:
– Lost window keys: We will open your window and provide a replacement handle
– Broken handles: We repair or replace handles that have snapped off from the window or mechanism.
– Jammed handles: We fix handles that have seized up and won’t turn.
No matter the problem, we can quickly repair or replace your window handles, restoring full functionality without hassle.
If you need additional protection, we can install security locks and latches specifically designed for windows with outdated mechanisms. These innovative fittings enable your windows to stay functional while providing extra safety and peace of mind. They offer an economical solution rather than having to replace a complete window.
